ChEBI: Piperyline is a N-acylpyrrolidine that is pyrollidine substituted by a (1E,3E)-1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-5-oxopenta-1,3-dien-5-yl group at the nitrogen atom. It is an alkaloid isolated from the plant Piper nigrum. It has a role as a plant metabolite, an apoptosis inducer and an antifungal agent. It is a member of benzodioxoles, a N-acylpyrrolidine, a tertiary carboxamide and a pyrrolidine alkaloid. It is functionally related to an (E,E)-piperic acid.
